giraldi02 470 Posted September 9, 2012 I don't trust the workload for ADP and I don't want to wait for Turbin. I'm rolling some BIG dice today. Who else is feeling risky? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Benedict 0 Posted September 9, 2012 Going ahead and giving him the week 1 flex start over Trent Richardson, who I figure will probably be limited and/or killed by the Eagles. If I eat it, that's okay. There are worse things than improving your waiver position for the week 1 breakout stud. Which I'm guessing will probably be Evan Royster, knowing my luck.

darwin 0 Posted September 9, 2012 I'm reluctantly going to start him at flex over Donald Brown. Saints D should give up more rushing yards than the Bears. And both have potential vultures to steal carries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RaiderHaters Revenge 3,574 Posted September 9, 2012 starting Morris over Gerhart in one league after the AP news. Gerhart was drafted to cover Mathews, so now my decision had to come down to Morris, M. Bush or Gerhart. Ill roll the dice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raiders-Fan 0 Posted September 9, 2012 Playing him , picked him up yesterday going with a roll of the dice I drafted him in all my leagues and starting him in a 16 team PPR league as my 4th option. 2 RB and 2 Flex spots. Was starting Collie. Not many other choices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigmark3333 11 Posted September 9, 2012 Choice between him, L. Moore and Tate in my flex (I'm starting Foster already). Decided I'm going to say ###### it and go with Morris. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sprewell43 0 Posted September 9, 2012 Anyone watching CBS Sports morning Fantasy show will see that they LOVE THIS GUY!! I just cant do it with Shanny at the helm. for this week at least. If I knew for sure he was going to be the starter and stay in, he'd be a gold mine with WASH likely trailing and indoors. Since he's on my bench I see a 15/70 5/45 1TD, or 21 points!!

berven 0 Posted September 9, 2012 Thin at RB, I substituted A Morris for Royster this morning when Shanny made Morris his starter. I already feel like a big bass who just swallowed a lure, since the devious coach could play Morris for a series and sit him down. Howeer, I wasn't rubbing my hands over the Royster play anyway. Good luck to all with WASH RBs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

giraldi02 470 Posted September 9, 2012 Man. He scored just one tenth less than Peterson in one of my main leagues. I was kicking myself for the swap..but in hindsight I couldn't be happier. Amazing day he had and he looked good. So I guess this thread carries into the next upcoming week worth of questions....does he get the majority of carries...in week 2?

jjg 3 Posted September 10, 2012 I think A Morris will be the starter here on out and get a big workload like he just did (28 carries). The Rat has been looking for a stud RB all these years and may have found one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

American Chewy 98 Posted September 10, 2012 i drafted royster and unfortunately held on to him and let morris sit on the waiver wire this week. now the question is, how much is morris worth bidding on this week ($100 bankroll)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raiders-Fan 0 Posted September 10, 2012 i drafted royster and unfortunately held on to him and let morris sit on the waiver wire this week. now the question is, how much is morris worth bidding on this week ($100 bankroll)? If you followed Shanny over the years he is very hard to figure out. When he was in Denver his only rookie RB he started from beginning of season I believe was Terrell Davis. Now look at their size. TD was 5'11 and about 210 and Morris 5'10 and 220. After watching Morris enough he is a North/South runner and his effect will be felt in the 2nd half most games. Wearing down defenses. Not sure Morris will have many big plays but steady performer week in and week out. Not many catches so his upside limited and less in PPR leagues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Mueller 146 Posted September 10, 2012 Shanny endorses Alfred Morris as starting RB Redskins coach Mike Shanahan endorsed Alfred Morris as his starting running back Monday. "Alfred right now is our starting running back," Shanahan said. In Shanny-speak, that means Morris is in line for zero carries in Week 2. Kidding aside, not even Shanahan will be able to pull a fast one after Morris rushed for 96 yards on 28 carries in Sunday's win, and generally looked at home in the Redskins' zone-blocking scheme. With Roy Helu and Evan Royster both waiting in the wings, Morris remains a tenuous long-term investment, but he seems likely to lead Washington's backfield in carries in Week 2 against the Rams.
